Following its award-winning selection in an open international design competition, John McAslan + Partners developed the design of a new pedestrian route across the River Kelvin in Glasgow's Kelvin Park. Inspired by the innovative architecture and engineering for which Glasgow is internationally acclaimed, the design of the bridge features a refined structure which crosses high above the river, coming to rest on axis with the entrances of the University and Kelvingrove Art Galleries, Glasgow's great
cultural and educational institutions. The original design included a lower, stepped footbridge which arcs to stabilise the bridge at its mid-point.
